Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Caught up!
In an hypnotic belief.
That their festival of greed,
Has an eternal existence.
...

Allow and enjoy,
A life blessed to receive...
The opportunity to have a mind.
That can be used to think,
...

Telegraphed.
From a dissecting.
Of a disease.
That had been microscoped.
...

Losing a status,
Of an image to perceive...
Has a kept merit to keep it,
As a representation...
...

Riveting.
Gut wrenching.
Sweat drenching.
Seat wetting.
...

Even though,
It seemed for long...
I had been gone.
Well...
...

Prevailing to sustain,
Is the broadening fraud...
Of a reality to cement it.
Within a mindset...
...

Getting to know,
How best to get things done.
To do as if to seem easy.
Is the knowing how to do this,
...

Sudden!
And perceived dramatic.
Traumatic.
With changes done.
...

To be who one is to be,
Should be an acceptance.
And not an objection,
To conformity.
...
